The CBCI Committee for Tribal Affairs (CTA) was part of National Commission for
SC/ST/BC till 2008. With the growing problems, issues and challenges related to
SC/ST/BC it was thought of more focused actions to address the concerns related
to these communities. Hence in the process of Reorganising CBCI, it was thought
essential to bifurcate the Commission and create and independent, Committee for
Tribal Affairs (CTA). Though strategically it will have an integral approach with
other Commissions to address the concerns of the mentioned communities, it will
function under a Secretary with more focused priorities and importance of Scheduled
Tribes/Adivasis.

HENCE THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMITTEE:

Advocacy on the National concerns of Adivasi communities.

Networking with like-minded organisations and movements on tribal issues.

Inspiring and Strengthening the Regions through animation and training.
